\cenquote{``Quote thingy''}{-- Guy who says quote}


Just over a month ago you slipped a fast acting poison into your older \cRomeo{\sibling}'s drink at a feast.  You remembered vividly as he proposed a toast to your happiness -- of all things -- looked into your eyes, smiled, and imbibed the poisoned wine.  He didn't die.  He didn't even respond, just continued chatting excitedly about some new girl.  

After the feast you tried to figure out what went wrong.  Testing revealed that he had added an antidote to the wine that specifically neutralized your newly researched poison.  \cRomeo{\They} must have stolen your notes while you were sleeping and developed an antidote in a matter of days: faster than you created the poison in the first place.

Something similar happened a year ago when you sabotaged \cRomeo{\their} transport ornithopter.  \cRomeo{\They} survived and made it look easy.  \cRomeo{\They} survived a year and a half ago when you incited a mob to kill \cRomeo{\them} and countlessly many times before that.  Not once has \cRomeo{\they} tried to retaliate.  Not once has he shown anything less than \cRomeo{\sibling}ly love towards you.  It probably amuses him to infuriate you.

You still want to kill \cRomeo{\them}.  Kill \cRomeo{\them} \emph{just} a little bit.  You will bring \cRomeo{\them} back afterwards, of course, as soon the death removes him as your \cPatriarchA{\parent}'s heir.  You have too much respect for the sly bastard to have \cRomeo{\them} not by your side as you run the \familyA{} family.

When you do run the family, after your father \cPatriarchA{} dies, there will be so many plots to implement.  Some can even be started now.  

Baron Wulfenbach has already conquered Mechanicsburg and the surrounding areas, but is currently campaigning in the West, hoping to bring his dream of a Pax Transylvania to the rest of Europa.  If he succeeds, he will rule with an iron fist, crushing those who intend to violate his peace.  While he campaigns, however, there is still an opportunity to war with the \familyB{} family.  With their leader nearly dead and the heirs inexperienced, you can make substantial gains against them in the next few years, and those gains will be fixed into stone when the Baron returns.

You have heard rumors that your \cPatriarchA{\parent} is plotting against the Baron, a reactionary decision to a new ruler.  \cPatriarchA{\They} ignores all the benefits that the Pax Transylvania has to offer.  The Baron might have more enemies than just him, and they might be searching for technologies in the ruins of Castle Heterodyne that will hinder the Baron's road to power.  They must be stopped.

If those technologies could be used to help in the war against the \familyB{} family, you should acquire them yourself.  Or find some other way to aquire weapons. Perhaps if \cPatriarchA{} allowed you access to the family resources you could obtain the weapons in trade.

\cPatriarchB{\full} has foolishly sent his daughters to Castle Heterodyne to further his plots.  Here, they are vulnerable, unprotected by their wards and machines.  You could kill them all now\ldots or\ldots there is an even better idea.  The \familyB{} family foregoes a traditional primogeniture system in favor of silly succession games.  Perhaps you could convince one of the daughters to accept the leadership of your family in exchange for your helping her become matriarch.

\begin{itemz}[Draft of goals]
  \item Kill your brother and then bring him back to life.
  \item Gain access to the family's resources and use them to obtain weapons.
  \item Eliminate the members of the \familyB{} family or find an ally in the family.
  \item Obtain military technologies to use to defeat the \familyB{} family.
  \item Identify and remove any threats to the Baron's rule
%  \item Plan relating to City of Lost Machines? Wants to be recruited?
\end{itemz}
